still compus mentis

I so relate to this my nan is in denial at the minute and won't accept any treatment xxx great honest write thank you 👏

@tetti2 more to do with the fact that dementia runs in my family and I'm already showing the signals :/

@tetti2 but it is quite common. 1/3 elderly people in the UK have it

@MWBennett thing is something has to give either our bodies or our minds. It runs in my family also and I worry a lot about it I think healthy life style and actively trying to keep your brain alive helps a great deal. Still a scary thought though 😢

Yeah, it scares me when I mix up the names of people I know so I just think more before I speak , it helps to take things slow :P

@tetti2

My mother suffered too. A friend wrote a poem for me, after she had gone, that you might like to read. It's called: Tom's poem for Mum. It was such a difficult time, I dread ending up the same! 🙍
